TV Ad: "Founding Father"

ACLU TV Ad "Founding Father"

The second advertisement in the "classroom" series (transcript | video clip) features students asking questions about the new law, and ends with a student asking, "Isn't the whole idea of the Constitution to guarantee our rights?" The answer comes from their teacher, a Colonial-era "founding father" who steps from the shadows to say sorrowfully, "That was the original idea."
